Oh, Freya. The story. The low down. Let’s start from the beginning. I was given an Arabic name as a baby and as far as I can remember, it’s always caused me pain. My name isn’t the easiest to pronounce when you see it written down. My birth name is Tahera. In Arabic it means pure. The proper way to pronounce it is Taa-heh-raa. Most people would say Ta-herra and it would drive me nuts. I was …
Escaping reality and immersing into fantasy. Living and breathing a fantasy world. Is it easier to exist somewhere other than your real life? Is that a healthy place to live? What does it mean if we’re running away from our reality? Many of us choose to escape from our real life and go on vacation every year. Vacation is great and much needed, but what if we chose to live our lives where we felt every day …
In the space of four weeks: 🎤I moved out of my apartment that I lived in for 12 years. No big deal, I’m totally fine. 🎤I went from living alone for 7 years to moving in with a BOY. It’s fine, no big deal. 🎤I packed up my entire apartment the same month as I flew to London to meet my new niece only to return again (in that same month) and move into the new place …
I was visiting with a dear friend the other day, and we were sat across from each other sharing all.the.things because we hadn’t seen each other in months and so much had happened in our lives and all of a sudden this epic thought popped into my head. I have not had back to back sad days in months, yes, months (!). And, not only that, but in the last 5 months I might have had a …
Ever been the first one with your hand up when someone else wants or needs something? Ever proactively thought of ways to support others or bring them something nice when they’re not feeling their best? Or even go to their favorite restaurant or watch their fave movie with them because you love and care about them so much and just love to see them happy? Did you answer yes to one or more of those questions? Yeah, …
This is how the story began. I was an innocent young girl who had never left my hometown of England. One day I decided to take a gigantic big leap to get married and move across the ocean, to a land unknown where I knew no souls except for my new love. This love promised me a great many things including freedom. Freedom had been the one thing that had seemed to elude me from the very …
We’ve all had those days where, no matter what we do, or who we talk to we feel low and meh. I don’t believe for a second that we’re meant to feel happy and joyful ALL THE TIME yet I know I still try and hold on desperately every time. We’re here to feel it all. And, the most important part is to allow ourselves to feel it all. Well, easier said than done, right? This post …
Truth telling is a scary thing. It’s something, that many of us, including me sometimes, avoid until one day there is just no more running from it. That day has already come for me. These days I’ve found myself unable to hide from my truth, The Truth, with a capital T. After going through another breakup (each one has it’s own gems to teach me), I found myself pissed off. I was angry at myself because …
When it comes to patience, I’m terrible and I’m the first to admit it. Why aren’t we there already? How long did they say we have to wait? They don’t have a table now? But, I’m hungry. And, when will it happen for me? Why hasn’t it happened yet? How long do I have to wait? I have to say that I am getting better with time. What’s my secret? Well, mostly it’s been about understanding the …
This past month, I’ve been immersing myself into my money story. I’ve been shedding my limiting beliefs and stories around it and reading books that I feel will support me in creating masses of abundance. As per my blog post last month, I have been applying myself through every thought, every action, every story and every block. Have I started to see results? BIG TIME. In the last month, money has shown up in ways it never …
I was in a situation. I felt trapped. I hated waking up every day to this. It really sucked. Sucked hard. And, I choose love. I remembered something that Marianne Williamson said from A Course In Miracles which led me to make a very conscious decision to shift my perspective. As long as I was here, I was going to show up. I was going to be the best version of myself. I was going to be …
